HISTORY
History and Formation Of Coal India Limited
With dawn of the Indian independence a greater need for coal production
was felt in the First Five Year Plan. In 1951 the Working Party for the coal
Industry was set up which included representatives of coal industry,
labour unions and government which suggested the amalgamation of
small and fragmented producing units. Thus the idea for a nationalized
unified coal sector was born. Integrated overall planning in coal mining is
a post-independence phenomenon. National Coal Development
Corporation was formed with 11 collieries with the task of exploring new
coalfields and expediting development of new coal mines.
With the Government's national energy policy the near total national
control of coal mines in India took place in two stages in 1970s. The
Coking Coal Mines (Emergency Provisions) Act 1971 was promulgated by
Government on 16 October 1971 under which except the captive mines of
IISCO, TISCO, and DVC, the Government of India took over the
management of all 226 coking coal mines and nationalised them on 1
May, 1972. Bharat Coking Coal Limited was thus born. Further by
promulgation of Coal Mines (Taking over of Management) Ordinance 1973
on 31 January 1973 the Central Government took over the management
of all 711 non-coking coal mines. In the next phase of nationalization
these mines were nationalized with effect from 1 May 1973 and a public
sector company named Coal Mines Authority Limited (CMAL) was formed
to manage these non coking mines.
Corporate Structure and Subsidiary Companies
Coal India is a holding company with seven wholly owned coal producing
subsidiary companies and one mine planning & consultancy company. The
producing companies are:
1. Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL), Sanctoria, West Bengal
2. Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), Dhanbad, Jharkhand
3. Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), Ranchi, Jharkhand
4. South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), Bilaspur, Chattisgarh
5. Western Coalfields Limited (WCL), Nagpur, Maharashtra
6. Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL), Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh
7. Mahanadi Coalfields Limtied (MCL), Sambalpur, Orissa

14. Page | 14
The consultancy company is Central Mine Planning and Design Institute
Limited (CMPDIL), Ranchi, Jharkhand.
Origin of Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL)
Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) owes its origin to “Raniganj Coalfields”
which is the birth place of coal mining in the Country. In 1774, first
mining operation in the Country was started in Raniganj Coalfields by
Sumner & Heatly, a British mining firm at the instance of Warren Hestings
to procure coal mainly for the manufacture of arms and ammunition. In
1820, first Coal Company, M/s. Alexander & Company was established in
India. In 1835, first Indian enterprise, M/s. Carr & Tagore Company was
formed when Raniganj coalfields passed into the hands of Prince
Dwarakanath Tagore, the grandfather of Nobel Laureate Poet
Rabindranath Tagore. In 1843, the first joint stock Coal Company, M/s.
Bengal Coal Company, was formed after amalgamating M/s. Carr &
Tagore Company and another coal company, M/S Gilmore Homfray & Co.
then in existence. Since then, underground coal mining operation had
been continuing in Raniganj Coalfields by numerous small owners.
Raniganj Coalfields remained the principal producer of coal in India in the
19th Century and for a considerable period of the 20th Century.
Eastern Division of earlier Coal Mines Authority Limited (CMAL) was
converted into Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) and was incorporated on
November 1, 1975 as a wholly owned subsidiary of CIL under Companies
Act, 1956. ECL took over 414 mines, 314 in West Bengal, including all the
private sector coal mines of Raniganj Coalfields and 100 in Jharkhand
(then Bihar), which were then under Eastern Division of CMAL, and
regrouped into 123 mines i.e. 84 Profile of Eastern Coalfields Limited 64
in W.B. and 39 in Jharkhand. At the time of nationalization, only around
214 out of the 414 mines taken over were working. Most of the mines,
with small base hold, had shafts fitted with old stream winders having
limited capacity and there was hardly any mechanized open cast mines in
ECL.
Nationalisation and After
In 1973, all Non-coking Coal Mines were nationalized and brought under
Eastern Division of Coal Mines Authority Limited. In 1975 Eastern
Coalfields Limited, a Subsidiary of Coal India Limited (C.I.L) was formed
and inherited all the private sector coal mines of Raniganj Coalfields.

13.6 PRESENT STATUS OF BIFR AND FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING OF ECL
As on 31st March, 1997 accumulated losses of the Company exceeded its
net worth by Rs. 251.20 Crores. Hence the company was referred to BIFR
in October, 1997 in terms of Section 15(1) of SICA. Due to financial

76. Page | 76
restructuring done by CIL on 31st May, 1998 by converting unsecured
loan of Rs. 1179.45 Crores into equity, the net worth of the company
became positive as on that date and company came out of BIFR. The
company continued to incur loss and the net worth of the company again
became negative as on 31st March, 1999. The Company was again
referred to BIFR in November, 1999. Company’s case was registered vide
Case No.501/2000.
BIFR sanctioned the Draft Rehabilitation Scheme in November, 2004 for
implementation. As per Scheme, net worth of the Company was slated to
become positive in 2008-09 with concession from CIL. Cabinet Committee
on Economic Affairs has also approved the BRPSE recommended Revival
Plan of ECL on 6th
October, 2006. As per this Scheme, net worth of the
Company was slated to become positive in 2009-10.
As directed by BIFR, in its meeting held on 02.09.2011, DMRP,
September, 2011 was submitted but the official approval has not been
communicated till now. As per the revised DMRP of ECL – September,
2011, the net worth of the company was slated to become positive in
2015-16.
Miscellaneous Application No.341/2014 filed by the Company before the
BIFR was heard on 22nd
September, 2014. This application was filed by
the Company to pass an order directing CIL for waiver of Unsecured Loan
and conversion of Current Account Balance into Equity. The Bench
observed that the already sanctioned Scheme envisaged that the relief
was categorically sought from CIL for waiver of Unsecured Loan and
conversion of Current Account Balance to Equity Share Capital and
therefore, permission of the BIFR appeared to be implied and implicit for
doing so at the level of CIL and therefore,
no further permission from the BIFR was required. Accordingly, BIFR
Bench directed State Bank of India (Monitoring Agency) to:
1. Clarify to ECL, being the Applicant Company, about the procedure of
implementation of the unimplemented part of the Scheme and its
treatment in the Balance Sheet regarding waiver of Unsecured Loan
and conversion of Current Account Balance into Equity Share Capital
and
2. Submit a report that the implementation of the sanctioned Scheme
is consistent in the manner it was sanctioned.
The Bench also directed the Company to file auditor’s certificate stating
status of the net worth of the Company along with its current Balance
Sheet immediately after implementation of the unimplemented part of the
sanctioned scheme.
State Bank of India vide its letter dated 1st November 2014 to ECL
proposed modification of terms of relief and concession from CIL from
“Waiver of unsecured loan of Rs. 519 Crore and conversion of Current

77. Page | 77
Account Balance of Rs. 1532 Crore as on 31st March 2003 into Equity
Share Capital” to “issue of nonconvertible, redeemable, cumulative
preference shares for an aggregate value of Rs. 2051 Crores to CIL by
ECL in full satisfaction of Unsecured Loan and Current Account Balance as
on 31st March 2003”.
After detailed deliberation in 310th CIL Board Meeting held on 8th
November 2014 and as recommended by Audit Committee, Board
accorded its approval to convert Unsecured Loan of Rs. 519 Crore and
Current Account Balance of Rs. 1532 Crore, aggregating to Rs. 2051
Crore, as on 31st March 2003 of ECL with CIL into fully paid-up 6% non-
convertible, cumulative, redeemable, Preference Shares of face value of
Rs. 1000/ - each to CIL. The Preference Shares are to be redeemed on
expiry of 7 years from the date of issue and allotment. However, CIL
would have the option to redeem at any time after the expiry of 5 years
from the date of issue and allotment. Redemption of preference shares
shall be at the face value (no redemption premium). Annual cumulative
dividend is 6%.
Accordingly Authorized Capital of ECL was raised from Rs. 2500 Crore to
Rs. 4600 Crore (Refer Note 1) and in the 275th ECL Board meeting held
on 25th December 2014 the Board approved the proposal for offer and
allotment of Preference Shares amounting to Rs. 2050.97 Crore to CIL.
On 26th December 2014, 20509700 6% non-convertible, cumulative,
redeemable, Preference Shares of Rs. 1000/- each amounting to Rs.
2050.97 Crores was allotted and issued to CIL, in accordance with the
above, and consequently the net worth of ECL became positive.
The company had filed a Miscellaneous Application (MA) dated
02.02.2015, registered in BC section vide No.53/ 2015/ BC dated
02.02.2015. In the prayer of the MA, the Company had requested the

worth of the Company and further declare it as no longer a Sick
Industrial Company as per the provisions of the Act; and
b) To pass such other or further orders as this Hon’ble Board may

of the company stated that the company has filed an MA requesting the
Board to de-register the company from the purview of SICA as the net

A high turnover ratio indicates that management is being extremely

accounts receivable and inventory assets to support its sales, which could
eventually lead to an excessive amount of bad debts and obsolete
inventory.

A company with high net margin ratio would ensure adequate return to
the owners as well as enable a firm to withstand adverse economic
condition when selling price is declining, cost of production is rising and
demand for the product is falling. It would really be difficult for a low net
margin ratio company to withstand these advantageous.

difference is that the denominator should not be restricted to paid
up capital alone. It should include Reserves and surplus as well.

Interpretation:
An excessively high net worth ratio may indicate that a company is
funding its operations with a disproportionate amount of debt and trade
payables. If so, a decline in its company could result in the inability to pay
back the debt, which increases the risk of bankruptcy; this means that
the shareholder’s may lose their investment in the company.

LIMITATIONS
1. Ratios become reliable only when they are based on correct data.
2. Since ratios based only on data of two years cannot reveal much,
they are not found to be much useful.
3. They cannot help much in decision making as they are based on the
past. Sometimes standard ratios are used for budgeting.
4. Accounting data should be compiled on uniform basis, otherwise
meaningful inter-firm and inter-period comparison will not be
available.
5. It may appear from the ratios that, as if, a particular factor is
responsible for the ups and downs in a business. But financial
results are the outcome of various factors, like general economic
condition, Changes in price level, local factors, specific competition,
management policy.

94. Page | 94
FINDINGS
1. The Current ratio is below the standard ratio and it is not good from
company’s point of view. It shows that it is not good position to
meet the short term liabilities.

from company’s point of view. It shows the company is able to meet
its liabilities is short period.
3. The debtor turnover ratio is good. It shows the collection of debtors
is very prompt.
4. Net profit Ratio in the 2013-14 was 9.81% but in the 2014-15

95. Page | 95
SUGGESTIONS
1. The current ratio of the company doesn’t reach standard ratio so
company need to concentrate on increasing the current ratio by
increasing in current assets.
2. Debt ratio of the company has been increased to subsequent year.
High debt ratio is unfavourable of the company.
3. The company needs to maintain good capital employed turnover
ratio by increasing the sales.
4. The company needs to increases the working capital turnover ratio
for efficiency utilization of working capital.
